Luka Modric's potential move to Real Madrid has hit the skids following reports from Spain that Nuri Sahin doesn't want to be a part of the swap deal.

Spurs are waiting for a fee in the region of £40million for Modric, but Sahin was earmarked by both sides as part of a player-plus-cash deal.
However, the Turkish international is refusing to play ball, causing the Spanish giants to cool their interest in the Croatian.
Reports from Spain indicate Madrid are not prepared to pay the full amount and were ideally looking for a player to enter the negotiations.
Modric is expected to leave White Hart Lane this summer, but Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is desperate for him not to join a Premier League rival, with Chelsea and Manchester United both keen on the 26-year-old.
The fact that Levy doesn’t want Modric to defect to another English club plays into the hands of Madrid, and the pressure may heap even further on the Spurs chief with the midfielder rumoured to be on the verge of handing in a transfer request.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has reportedly made Modric his main priority this summer, while Chelsea failed with numerous bids last summer and are set to rekindle their interest in the coming weeks.
